CAPTIVITY

Just a glance
Allows one to see
Through
To the depths
Of
His ancestral memories
Where
He holds
A slight recollection
Of
A time
When
Communities swam
To the floor of dark waters

Unaware
Of
The nets of captivity
That
Would be cast
To scoop
Separate
Then
Submerge
Unwitting generations
In to
Artificial bodies of water
Where
They are now
Condemned
To collide
With
The clear cramped walls
They circle
In crazed attempts
To return
To
Distant
Home
Seas
